“All Hail Science” is one of the album’s best cuts, and not just because it’s something the guys in the group say often. So, to avoid me sounding stupid, let’s just focus on what I dug about this disc. I just think this band has a sound all their own, and their brand of Death Metal is head and shoulders above many others in the genre. “This story is dotted with examples of real-life scientific advancements, and it is also perforated with details of humanity’s flaws.” Now, I’ve said it before, I am WAY too stupid to get any of the science stuff. “With this record we’re bringing ideas to the table that corroborate the fact that at this juncture, robotics as a field is moving forward at an alarming rate,” explains McShane. I know, new guy writing the lyrics? ‘Da FUCK? But hey man, it works, believe me! Axe-shredders Greg Burgess and Michael Stancel, bassist Corey Archuleta, and drummer Brandon Park provide the music that helps to tell the story of the album, and when everything comes together it sounds glorious. In addition, he also jumped right into the science-based lyrical concepts of the band, and wrote them in that vein. This is their first offering with vocalist Riley McShane, who comes in and absolutely nails his parts. Sooooooo, a little over two years since the last album Elements of the Infinite, the boys from ALLEGAEON are back with their new one Proponent For Sentience, available now via Metal Blade Records.
